On Thursday I officially became a college graduate. While that title seems so monumental, I actually feel no different - in all honesty, I don't even feel the pressing weight of reality. I think I'm still processing the fact that I'm leaving this amazing city and that my friends are scattering across the country. In spite of this, it was a fabulous time to spend with my family. Here are a few photos from the evening to commemorate the event, because even if I didn't feel like it was monumental, it really is.
Don't my dad and my uncle look so snazzy in their searsucker suits? True Southern gentlemen, wouldn't you say?
With my aunt and my mamma!
The family!
I just love Gary's face so much in this picture. He's so happy! Photographs like this make me smile. This is one of the best parts of photography - capturing those fleeting, yet significant, expressions.
Would you believe me if I told you that this is essentially a set? Oh, the wonders of the modern world. When I first stepped out that door onto the wide porch, supported by the big, white columns and looked outside to see oak trees framing a little path the crossed a small creek I thought I was outside. Then I noticed that it was air conditioned. It was quite a double take.
The mighty Mississippi as our backdrop. I love these bridges so dearly, but mostly because they remind me of the old Cooper River bridges from Charleston.
